Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 24, 1920.

Application filed October 28, 1919. Serial No. 333,964.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RINA GREEN, widow, residing at No. Q Amagerbrogade, Copenhagen, Denmark, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Veils, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to make it possible for ladies wearing veils to enable them to eat and drink without being obliged to lift the veil up over the mouth, which is very inconvenient, as it isoften diiiicult to readjust the setting of theveil.

Besides, it is easily understood that the wear and tear is large of a veil which is constantly lifted up and drawn down over the lower part ofthe face.

The invention is shown in the accompanying drawing in which is shown an un folded shaped veil.

1 is the veil itself, and 2 a slit of about 10 centimeters length or a little longer than the usual size of a mouth. This slit is woven in the veil and is supposed to sit just in front of the mouth or lips.

hen the veil is on its proper place over the face and beneath the chin of the wearer the slit is unnoticed, except by openingthe mouth for eating a morsel, or drinking. The slit in the veil will then give way, with the movements'of the lips.

Ofcourse the edges of the slit may be woven in a special manner or provided with a strengthening of some sort.

Each veil may be manufactured of different shapes, sizes and designs.

The veil is to be fixed on the side of the hair or hat with two little hairpins.

Having now described my invention what I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A veil including a single ply flexible and stretchable body adapted to be arranged over the face and beneath the chin of the wearer and provided with a transverse slit at a point opposite the mouth of the wearer to enable the wearer to eat or drink without lifting the veil.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

RINA GREEN.
